Movie that everyone loves but you hate.

[smithy_2045]

Superbad. Anyone who did not want to line that entire cast up and just bitchslap every single one of them, raise your hand. No takers? Didn't think so.

I really liked Superbad personally.

Pretty much anything Quentin Tarantino has ever made. I just don't get what's supposed to be so great about him.
Oh, and nearly any crime/mafia/police film with the sole exception of Hot Fuzz. Seriously, that whole genre is just yawn-o-rama.

I suggest you watch Lucky Number Slevin or Snatch. Preferably the former as its much 'brighter' and has quite a bit of humor in it.

The Last Airbender: It was a stain upon the good name of one of Nickelodeon's only good cartoons, and I shall never forgive it for that. I mean, goddamn. if you're gonna try and make a movie based on a cartoon, the LEAST you can do is take enough time to set up a story! They rushed through this film, though, Presumably because they thought that no one who wasn't a previous fan of the series would sit through some serious character/world backstory, so they clipped alot of the good Stuff out (Plot Related Locations and Characters were hit pretty hard). Overall a big disappointment for me and my friends.

I don't know ANYONE who enjoyed that film.

(Also, I forgot to add this, instead I mentioned freakin' Napoleon Dynamite)

Wolverine: Origins. Most dissapointing movie for me ever. Its not loved by many, but definitely popular amongst few younger people.

Every movie starring Will Ferrell, cept for Stranger Than Fiction

 

[Casual Shinji]

The Shawshank Redemption

Then again, I hate everything Frank Darabont makes.

Slumdog Millionare. So. Fucking. Predictable. Slum kids in Mumbai all learn Alexandre Dumas novels it is the most important part of the curriculum.

Titanic Titanic Titanic Titanic Titanic Titanic >:-(

This too, I cant believe I forgot to mention this pile of dogshit. Most of the time I admit that I just dont like the genre, but for Titanic, the plot was retarded, the "action" at the end was so cliched that I wanted to vomit, and James Cameron managed to make Kate Winslet NOT look hot in the movie. See whats wrong with that sentence right there?

Let's see,just about everything that isn't pixar now a days and even then,it ain't a done deal

 

[Vault101]

Superbad

not a bad film just not my kind of movie, and not very pleasant when you have to sit through the fucking thing

 

[KefkaCultist]

For me I gotta say its Avatar. I REALLY FUCKING hated it. The only parts it kept my interest were the parts where it showed off the cool animals and surroundings, and was bored as fuck when the flat, one-dimensional characters were n the screen.

Oh My God I swore I was the only one that hated that stupid movie and all the hype that it got!

Another of mine is Superbad, I got a few chuckles out of it but to me it was not the amazing comedy that everyone was saying it was.

 

[trueluigi7]

I hate a quite of bit of movies but there are movies I will say are not "good" but I enjoy watching them because of other aspects, but they are still crap.

I say Avatar for obvious reasons if your not an idiot, and also The Hangover also for Obvious Reasons and one more Napoleon Dynamite.

 

[Lilani]

Any movie with Will Ferrell. Seriously, I find nothing funny about him. He's just...stupid. There's nothing clever or witty about his humor, it's just stupidity piled into stupidity, and I find it very insulting that I'm supposed to find his antics funny.

 

[Viewtiful Dan]

X-Men Origions and The Last Airbender. As a comic nerd and a lover of The Last Airbender T.V. series these movies offended every fiber of my being.

anything by Tim Burton
Rocky Horror Picture Show
District 9
Transformers...strike that, anying by Michael Bay

Thought Avatar was "eh", hated the hype that continued after opening. Titanic was garbage. The only good movie Will Ferrel has ever been in was Stranger Than Fiction.
"National Lampoon's Animal House"= finally saw the whole thing, didn't find it funny. Donald Sutherland smoking pot and sleeping with a coed. Sleazebag guys who are supposed to be the heroes. Ugh.
"Fast Times at Ridgemont High"= what the hell was this movie even about? I did not get it.
"Blade Runner"= in my opinion, overrated. props to the aesthetic, but it was so sluggish and dry. and the title is a non-sequitor. It comes from another story about guys who smuggle black market medical supplies. that sounds awesome! when can I see that movie?
Taxi Driver and Deer Hunter were some of the most depressing movies I've ever seen. Classics from the 70's just feel weighed down and grainy.
Transformers(both movies) can eat all the dicks.
Abrams Star Trek sucked. Last I checked, it was the starship Enterprise, not the starship Lensflare. All I can think of right now, may post some more as they come to me.

The Boondock saints, Seriously this movie is an abomination of cinema and all existing prints need to be spaced immediatly

You need to be spaced...

Anyways, Scott Pilgrim. Whats worse is I cant point out one single detail that I hate the most, just the whole fucking movie... oh wait, Cera... thats what I hated the most...

 

[pfc_river]

In defense of some that I saw hated on:
With Nightmare before Christmas, I grew up with it and grew to love it.
I was raised in a Monty Python house. However, even I have a hard time with some of their sketches.
I actually enjoyed Superbad, and I thought Scott Pilgrim was great. Michael Cera is tolerable in doses, and when he has more interesting characters to play off of.
Boondock Saints: I think I caught on to it before the cult following really overhyped it. It's the same thing with Whedonites. Recommend Firefly and Serenity, but don't overdo it. After a while, it gets built up to the point where it can never be as good as people describe it. I imagine the same will happen to me should I ever get around to watching Arrested Development.

<url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.226611-2-50-Reviews-Zodiac-2007>Zodiac is the main one that comes to mind. It got great reviews from most, but I found it so boring.

Agreed. I sat there waiting two bloody hours for something to happen and then the film just ends. Boring stuff.

One for me is The Wedding Crashers. The biggest piece of shit comedy that I have ever witnessed, and yet EVERYONE I know seems to think it's one of the best films ever.

I was going to respect your opinion until i saw you insult Scott pilgrim and i put my keyboard warrior gloves on.

I could literally talk about why Boondock saints suck so much for longer then the running time of the damn movie.

V for Vendetta, hands down.

Horribly horrible movie, yet because it has some left-ist views that many people agree with they overrate it to no-end. Of course there are a lot of smart people with left views who know it is a bad film. But most people aren't smart and they think it is some liberating "WE SEE THE TRUTH NOW!!" film.

 

[Wingmna]

Also:
Avatar shouldn't count, because most people know it is a bad film with good effects.

Otherwise I agree with most TBH.




And I forgot...

The Departed.

Terrible remake of a Hong Kong classic, Marty Scorsese needs to give up making movies and support directors who actually have ideas... Too bad he is too much of a dick to do that (yes, he is a dick, and sadly he is now is also a dick who makes bad movies).
